The chemical structures of these molecules, which consist of a dense, highly complex...
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has named five Yale scholars as recipients of a 2024 Sloan Research Fellowship, an honor that recognizes early-career scientists and scholars.
The Yale honorees, all members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, are Eduardo...
Researchers have developed a new way to visualize how ancient animals moved as they roamed the Earth — starting with a Yale-discovered dinosaur’s sickle-clawed foot.
The new approach, which uses computer animation software to combine 3D models of fossil...
A Yale-led research team has picked a side in the “Snowball Earth” debate over the possible cause of planet-wide deep freeze events that occurred in the distant past.
According to a new study, these so-called “Snowball” Earth periods, in which the planet’...
In the animal kingdom, there are many grand examples of species that make sense of their world by expertly deciphering even weak signals from their surroundings.
An eagle soaring above the ground spies a river fish down below, about to swallow a bug; a...
Priyamvada Natarajan, a Yale theoretical astrophysicist who maps the unseen universe, has been elected a fellow of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) for her groundbreaking work in dark matter and black hole physics.
AAS announced the election of 21...
